And Now a Word from Our Sponsors...

Postby pierski » Fri Jan 25, 2008 12:06 am

In all honesty, I hope that this never happens.

I can first person shooters with billboard advertisements or in baseball stadiums, but there are just some kinds of games that it won't work. Now remember "won't work" and "doesn't work, but they tried anyway" are two completely different things. Expect a lot of Truman Show product placement in future games. Then again, when it costs you $20 million to make a video game it helps to make some of that money back some how. Hmm... I'm in the mood for some White Castle.

Make sure to return Monday for the first Dueling Analogs "comic" to ever have audio. What am I thinking? No, seriously. I bumped my head a while ago and I think I might have a concussion and my short-term memory isn't so good. Gotta go, left arm just went numb...

If I knew what any of those brands apart from Red Bull were, I think I'd find it funnier.

A comic... With Audio?! Doesn't that make it less of a comic and more of a one frame animation? :P

I'm looking forward to that, dude.

The audio will be Pierski screaming at us very loudly, then laughing.

Personally I would embrace product placement in games...just imagine the effect of such items in RPGs:

White Castle Burger - Heals 500 HP. Might cause Poison.
Red Bull - Heals 250 HP. Might cause Beserk for 3 turns, followed by Fatigue.
Mountain Dew - Heals 200 HP. Might cause Shrink.

If you look the "comic" part is in quotes.

Is Steve perhaps jumping on the Flash bandwagon?

Brilliant comic.

And well done on getting out of the outer circle's messy plot developments. :D

I didn't find the OC arc messy, i found that it took so long, but that's because there's a grand canyon kind of hole from august to november...

Now, what's with Richard's glow, he's having it since he lost his virginity :lol:

Good advertising comic, i hope you're planning to charge those companies for your services jejeje...

I think I remember reading in a post somewhere that Steve's first love is animation... If that's what we're waiting on for Monday, that would be freaking brilliant.
